The Sephora Credit Card, Sephora Visa Credit Card and Sephora Visa Signature Credit Card are set to be available in the spring, giving shoppers even more opportunities to get rewards from the beauty retailer. Sephora cardholders will be able to earn credit card rewards in addition to rewards from the retailer’s existing Beauty Insider Program, plus additional Visa Signature benefits.
According to Sephora’s senior vice president of customer relations management and loyalty, Andrea Zaretsky, "The launch of the Sephora Credit Card exemplifies Sephora’s loyalty philosophy in every sense; it considers all the most-loved aspects of Sephora—the amazing product, services, experiences and personalization — taking our client experience to the next level through special access, rewards and perks."
The Sephora Credit Card is set to launch soon in select markets before being made available across all US stores and its website in the following months.
